Path to the C-suite

When we say there are endless possibilities for growth at NSM, we mean it. In fact, NSM’s Chief Data & Analytics Officer, Tony Rosa, was the company’s first-ever data analytics hire. Tony was drawn to NSM over a decade ago because he was able to see the ways he could make an immediate impact. Reporting directly to the COO, Tony’s first task was helping our program directors analyze their data — an endeavor that was in great need of a fresh, technical perspective. It was through this initial role that Tony demonstrated the need for a larger strategy and analytics department. Soon, Tony’s team of one grew into a team of 13 — and one of the most critical parts of our business today. As someone who went into school knowing that he wanted to start his own company someday, Tony stays at NSM due to the entrepreneurial spirit and continuous evolution of the business. “I wasn’t going into this expecting to be CDAO. I wanted to grow and make an impact.”

How does Tony build success? By getting out of people’s way. “I’m fortunate to have a lot of great folks on my team. Though we collaborate constantly, there are times I know when it’s best for me to let them run with it.”

“It’s all about working with people and understanding that at the end of the day, the business is not going to go anywhere without them.”

Though hiring highly skilled talent for his team was important, Tony says understanding the human component was critical to his team’s growth. “It’s all about working with people and understanding that at the end of the day, the business is not going to go anywhere without them,” he says.
